July 1

Today is July 1. In Canada, that means at least two big celebrations. In Newfoundland and Labrador, it’s Memorial Day. Throughout Canada, it’s Canada Day. It’s a day to celebrate Canada as a country. Hopefully, you’ll see red and white and flags everywhere. Around here, there’s a full day of things planned, culminating in the mandatory fireworks display at Fort Malden.
